What is the name of your state? IN (that is were the custody order is) & Vermont ( were the kids will be)
My boyfriends 3 kids are coming for the summer. His oldest daughter has informed him and his ex wife once she gets up here (Vermont) she will not return home (indiana). We would be happy to have her (any or all of them) but he does not want to get arrested for going against the custody order. If she just refuses to go with her mother when her mother picks her up will she have to go or will she be able to stay. Her mother is horrible to her and emotionally abuses her all the time. From what I can tell if the police are called they may threaten her but there is nothing they can do and she will be able to stay. She is 12 and I think in both states that is old enough to decide for themselves. But before I tell her it is OK I want to make sure nothing is going to happen. I know I should never tell her it is OK for her to do this but we are afraid it may be her only hope. We cannot afford a lawyer and with the distance it is impossible.
